___________________________________________________________________________
From the falling edge of the ebony night sky,
as the surmounting shroud of despair darts,
the promise of the full moon I’ve made to you,
I’ll keep before the enwrapping eclipse starts.
As the cloud clumps clear at the fall of night,
I rise from the strewn debris of the fallen sky,
the opulence of your grace captures my sight,
my dormant desire to reach you soars high.
Your image then comes to me as an astral boon,
designs the leitmotif of longing in your lilting glow,
entices my shadow to touch the tainted moon,
you’ll realize the earnestness my effort will show.
Within my desolate darkness deepening fast,
you in my orbit gleam with the moonshine grace,
while the floating tinsels of the silver dust
flutter like fairy wings on your silhouette face.
The sun of desire aligns with my heart precisely,
bloody flush flashes on your face devastating.
As the penumbra of my passion eclipses you totally,
your visage turns into the rare red moon rising.
